Iowa basketball: Hawks finally get good news after rough month

When it rains, it pours is how the old saying goes. That saying couldn’t be closer to the truth for the Iowa basketball team this past month.

After taking Tennessee to overtime of the second round of the NCAA Tournament, the hits just keep coming against the Iowa basketball team.

There have been two transfers, one coaching departure, two early declarations, and a major injury announcement. Until today, the Iowa basketball team’s starting lineup would have consisted of just one starter from last season, Luka Garza.

Although the announcement was expected eventually, it’s nice to make it official that star wing player Joe Wieskamp is returning for his sophomore season after testing the 2019 draft process.
